Free the People writer Logan Albright joins Matt Kibbe to discuss his new book, "Our Servants, Our Masters."

The guys also learn a thing or two about Irish whiskey.
Steve Forbes, editor of Forbes Magazine and two-time presidential candidate, sits down with Matt Kibbe to explain where the Republican Party is going wrong in trying to hold the line against democratic socialism. The problem, Forbes says, is that Republicans focus on how much the Democrats' proposals will cost, instead of explaining how they will make life dramatically worse for ordinary Americans. A positive vision of more choice, more wealth, and more opportunity is the only way to win this political game.
Virginia Delegate Nick Freitas sits down with Matt Kibbe to talk about his successful write-in campaign and the empty promises of mainstream politicians.

Matt Kibbe talks to Sen. Rand Paul about his new book, "The Case Against Socialism."

Reason magazine's Elizabeth Nolan Brown joins Matt Kibbe to discuss presidential candidate Kamala Harris' fluid understanding of her own time as a California district attorney.

Matt Kibbe is joined by Naomi Brockwell, Avens O'Brien, and Free the People CEO Terry Kibbe, three of the leading lights in the modern liberty movement. Together, they discuss the potential of blockchain technology to change the world, the power of storytelling, and how education doesn't have to take place in a classroom. Oh yeah, and they also all happen to have red hair.
Jeffrey Tucker from the American Institute for Economic Research sits down with Matt Kibbe to debunk the idea that the free market is shallow and impersonal.

Jason argues that it's all about taking responsibility for your own life and not expecting anyone else to do it for you.
Economist Dr. Edward Lopez joins Matt Kibbe to discuss the fundamental insights of Nobel laureate James Buchanan and his public choice theory, namely that politicians are just as self-interested as anyone else. Lopez goes on to explain why government assistance programs so often fail, why elected officials don't keep their promises, and why some regulations actually benefit the corporations they are supposed to restrain.
Matt Kibbe is joined by Maj Toure, founder of Black Guns Matter and Libertarian candidate for city council.

Comedian Andrew Heaton joins Matt Kibbe to discuss safe spaces, two-party tribalism, and whether comedy might actually save the world from the enemies of free expression.
